Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku must face a three-match ban once the FA view replays of the incident between the Belgian and Brighton’s Gaetan Bong just before the only goal of the game.
The incident started with the usual jostling between players at a corner but turned into a much more serious clash.
Lukaku was impeded as the corner came in but his reaction was extreme, kicking out first with his right foot and then making full contact with his left foot somewhere quite painful.
It was a violent act which would have resulted in a red card had referee Neil Swarbrick seen it.
